Overview 1-1

Brief Description

Brief DescriptionBusiness Process: 5.6.3.4b SGG-MDM.Manage Device Remote Connect (Echelon)

Process Type: Process

Parent Process: 5.6.3 SGG-MDM.Manage Devices

Sibling Processes: 5.6.3.1b SGG-MDM.Manage On-Demand Read (Echelon), 5.6.3.6b SGG-MDM.Manage Device Device Status Check (Echelon)

This process gets initiated when a 3rd Party application (E.g. Customer Care and Billing application), makes a request for a Device Remote Connect or a MDM or SGG Authorized User manually requests for a Device Remote Connect within SGG system. SGG initiates Remote Connect by communicating with respective Echelon Head-End System that in turn communicates with the Smart Meter device, for device connection, and sends response back to SGG. Head-End System also checks load status and collects meter read from Smart Meter device, if required, as part of Device Remote Connect process.
